OGDENSBURG
– Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie issued a proclamation this week in honor of National
Nursing Home Week.
The
proclamation was presented to the residents and staff at RiverLedge HealthCare
& Rehabilitation Center Monday afternoon by Sen. Ritchie staffer James E.
Regan.
In the
proclamation Ms. Ritchie wrote, “Within every community there exists certain
institutions which have played an important role in helping the communities and
families of Northern New York. It is the service of this legislative body to
acknowledge institutions like RiverLedge, Maplewood and other specialized
housing programs in New York State in accord with its long-standing customs and
traditions.”
She
continued, “National Nursing Home Week provides an important opportunity to
celebrate the contributions made by our skilled nursing centers to improving
the quality of life for older Americans and people with disabilities. During
this celebration all citizens should take the opportunity to visit a loved one,
family member or friend and offer a kind word, or the greatest gift of all, the
gift of time.”
